IMPROVEMENT IN FILE-WRAPPERS.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 161,506, dated March 30, 187i, application tiled March 2, 1875.

lo all whom it may concern:

Be it known that we, WILLIAM GnrNsTnn and JOHN A. DARLING, of Vashington city, District of Columbia, have invented an Improved File-Happen and we hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description thereof, reference being had to the accompanying drawings making a part of 'this specification, in which- Figure l represents a perspective ot the tiling-jacket closed. Fig. 2 shows the inside of the jacket open. Fig. 3 shows the outside of same.

The object of our invention is to provide a cheap and convenient adjustable ling-jacket for holding and preserving papers, les, records, Sac.; and it consists in a piece of cloth, linen-lined paper, or any other suitable flexiblei'abric, cut in such a manner as to form a iiling-jacket, and provided with strings, tapes, or straps, passing through slits or eyelets lnade in and near its ends and sides, allowing them to pass to the outer side for the purpose of securing its contents.

In order that those skilled in the art may make and use our invention, we will proceed to describe the exact manner in which we have carried it out.

In the said drawings, A is the inner side of the jacket, and B B the slits or eyelets through which the tapes or straps pass from the inner to the outer side. o c are the tapes or straps passing lengthwise and crosswise through the slits or eyelets B B.

Fig. 3 shows 'the outside of a jacket with the tapes or straps c c passed through the slits or eyelets B B at its ends and sides, leaving the face of the filing-jacket free, for printed or written notes or memoranda.

Fig. l represents the outside of the lingjacket with its folds or flaps overlapping each other, in a closed condition, with the tapes or straps c o tied.

Having thus described our invention, what we claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

As a new article of manufacture, a lewrapper, A, provided with the tapes c c, and openings B B and Bl B', substantially as and for the purpose described.
